    Richard @ Backwoods Detectors

    A friend that I hunt with was in need of a new trowel,pinpointer and trash pouch. He isn't very computer savvy. I looked on line at some and thought why not contact Richard at Backwoods. I e-mailed him and told him what I wanted and he was competitively priced so I told him that I would get a...

    Sovereign battery pack swollen?

    I have some property stakes to find and figured I would get the Sovereign out due to its depth capability and all metal mode. I charged the battery pack a few days ago. I had problems trying to close the batter door and figured the pack may have swollen. I left the door partially open and...

    Anything new from Minelab for 2025?

    Just curious if Minelab has anything new for us Equinox or Manticore users coming this year? I don't hear of anything and it seems that Minelab has forgotten us as loyal users and customers. If I wasn't this old I would switch to a company that has actual support for their customers..Just a...

    My 2024 totals...

    Much of 2024 was a bust due to the hot summer. I didn't get out as much as I would have liked to. I came on pretty strong during the fall with a new hotspot! I ended up with 34 silver coins with 17 of those coming from one field! There was 3 halves...1856 O 1909 S and a 1917 with no mint mark. 5...

    Equinox owners?

    Not much discussion here lately from Equinox owners..I am curious as to everyone's silver count so far this year! I was out a couple of days ago and walked 2 hours in corn stubble and found just on coin that happened to be an 1898 Barber dime! I think I am over 30 silver coins for the year and...

    11/8/24 hunt..

    Went out for about 5 hours yesterday! I hunted chisel plowing that once had a baseball diamond and got a Merc and a Rosie along with some wheat cents. I then drove to another close by town where I have found Barber silver at the ball diamond in the past. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Mid...

    Last hunt at the silver field!

    I spent 5 hours yesterday at the field where I found the seated half and 2 hours today. I feel that I worked it pretty good and will return when the soil is turned in a year or two. Yesterday I was rewarded with a 1909 Barber half, a 1904 Barber dime, and a 1902 Barber quarter. There's some...

    Another day epic day in the field!! Big silver again!!

    I went back to my hunting grounds today and spent 5 hours there. I took a sandwich along so I did stop to eat...I was running my Equinox 900 just like yesterday. Park 1 and varying sensitivity from 23-28 pending on the emi. I wasn't ten minutes into the hunt when I got a high tone that locked on...

    My Flood Plane Dave and Mar kus type day!! Silver!!

    This sure has been a long time coming! 8 silvers in one day! I was using my trusty Equinox 900 in Park 1 sensitivity anywhere from 23-28 pending on the emi. There's a V nickle in there and a couple of wheats and I think an Indian. The Walker is a 1917. It was low 70s but a very strong south...

    7/3/24 hunt with Equinox 900

    Finally got out for the 3rd time with my Equinox 900 with the new update. I must say that I am liking the more stable ID numbers and I think the tone is a bit better on silver. But that could be my bad ears after years of drag racing,playing in a rock band,and the shooting sports! :stars: I had...

    Manticore update?

    Got an e-mail from Minelab and I thought I saw an update for the Manticore. You fellas that own one should look into it. Then again I just got done with the snowblower and may be snowblind...:cool:

He wanted me to come right way and I said I...

    Field 2 and Park 1 experiment on the Equinox 900

    I managed to get out yesterday for a 3 1/2 hunt. I was using my Equinox 900 in a bean field that I have hunted before. Iron bias at 2 and recovery speed at 4 and sensitivity between 22-25. Along the road where the power lines were I ran in Field 2 to reduce EMI and away from the lines I ran...

    Getting better with the Equinox 900

    I spent about 2 hours doing some research today. Ended up driving about an hour of that to talk to a farmer to get permission to hunt one of his fields. He was out planting so I talked with his wife. She took my name and number since it was a cornfield and not planted yet. I asked her about the...

    Tone comparison between Equinox 600 and Equinox 900.

    The weather here has been miserable the last couple of days. Cold,windy,and snow flurries off and on. Since I have permission to hunt a couple of brush laden old home sites,I decided to put the new 6" coil on my Equinox 600 for going thru the brush and tall grass. The 6" coil looks tiny compared...

    Saturday's 4 hour hunt

    My partner and I went out for a 4 hour hunt Saturday. Struck out at the first site where a school house was in the 1880s. Went to another field I had permission for and we found a few coins. There was broken glass all over the place including the tops of old colored medicine bottles. My friend...

    4 hours in the field for this??

    A bit windy yesterday and in the mid 50s. Winter is returning to Iowa today so I am happy we got out for a bit. All I found was a token and a dime. No pennies or nickles to be had. My partner found a 1923 merc and an 03 Barber...

    Equinox 900 struggles...

    I have about 6 hours on my new 900. I went to three different spots that have been pounded by myself and others. I have a 43 Merc,a beat up Rosey and maybe 3 wheats and a memorial cent. I dropped the iron bias and recovery speed to get more depth. I have been running Park 1 and Field 2...
